The mild smell of lemongrass oil is known to relieve anxiety and irritability and help achieve an overall sense of calm and collectiveness. A study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine found that when subjects were exposed to anxiety-causing situations and smelled the scent of lemongrass oil, the group experienced a decrease in anxiety and subjective tension, immediately after treatment administration. If you feel like you need a stronger or more effective solution to anxiety using lemongrass, then create your own massage oil or add lemongrass oil to your body lotion. You can also try having a cup of lemongrass tea at night before bed to experience its calming benefits (note this tea is made from the leaves, not the essential oil).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNatural Bug Repellent:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLemongrass oil is known to repel bugs, such as mosquitoes and ants, as it consists of a high level of citral and geraniol.
